Even if your buffer has the char sequence "a" and "¨", "¨"
is displayed on top of "a" and cursor movement treats those
two characters atomically as if there's a single character
"ä".

That's the point. utf-8-hfs converts the sequence "a" and
"¨" to a single character "ä" on decoding, and breaks down
"ä" to "a" and "¨" on encoding.

Which font is selected for the character "ä"? It seems to
be a bug if the font is not your default font.
